If you have a court ordered guardianship then you have control of the situation. Neither father nor mother have the right to make decisions regarding your grandson. The parents would have to convince the court that the guardianship should be terminated before their right to make decisions about your grandson. You may be able to move the guardianship to the county in which the child presently resides. Do not allow father to take the grandson without a court order. Seek the advice of an attorney before allowing either parent to take your grandson.
